“What do you mean?” The taxi driver turned to look at him and said, “Young man, where did you hear the news? Don’t talk nonsense …”
“Maybe I made a mistake. Maybe it’s not news from Yanhe.”
“Yeah, that’s a serious thing. If it happened, how could I not know? You must have made a mistake …”
Lu Sheng smiled and didn’t continue on this topic.
“It seems that the group of bandits haven’t had time to make a move yet. I’m not too late. But judging from the urgency of the mission, it’s estimated that it will take a day or two …”
Lu Sheng sat quietly in the back seat of the taxi. Wearing a white T-shirt and black casual pants, he looked like an ordinary university student traveling. But in his heart, he was silently recalling the relevant information about this mission. The main target of this mission was a group of bandits. The number of bandits was unknown. He only knew that their leader was a Level 6 Martial Artist.
He was strong, ruthless, and cunning.
This was a group of bandits who had committed many heinous crimes. The total accumulated loot was as high as two billion. They were responsible for more than 50 lives, including more than 30 police officers. At the same time, they were equipped with a large number of firearms. It could be said that they were a group of people who were full of evil and extremely vicious.
Therefore, this mission was also classified as a Class AA mission. Only students with the strength of a Level 6 Martial Artist and above were eligible to carry out this mission. But the reward for completing the mission was also very generous.
- Capture or kill a bandit.
- Reward: 10 million in cash and 10 credits.
- Capture or kill the bandit leader Ma Guoyun.
- Reward: 100 million in cash and 100 credits!
The taxi slowly stopped. The taxi driver in the front row reminded Lu Sheng through the rear-view mirror, “Young man, we’re here. The fare totals up to 50.”
Lu Sheng turned his head and looked outside. He found that the driver had taken him to the entrance of a rather luxurious hotel. The hotel suited his requirements quite well.
“Thank you, sir. Keep the change.”
Lu Sheng threw down a hundred, picked up his weapon bag and luggage, and got out of the car.
“Yanhe Guobin Hotel.”
Lu Sheng looked up at the signboard and walked straight into the restaurant. The interior of the restaurant was luxuriously decorated but slightly old-fashioned. The layout and style of the restaurant were also old-fashioned. It should be one of those luxurious restaurants from more than ten years ago that had declined.
Lu Sheng had nothing to complain about. He first checked in at the front desk, put down his luggage, and went downstairs with his weapon bag. Then ordered a table full of dishes in the hall on the first floor.
As he ate, he placed a piece of paper with personal information and read it slowly.
- Mengyao Xu, fourth year student at the Third Sage Martail University.
- Strength: Level 6 Martial Artist
- Weapons: Dual Blades
- Mission completion rate: 67%
- Meng Jianfei, senior at the Third Sage Martail University
- Strength: Level 6 Martial Artist
- Weapons: …
Both of them were seniors of the Third Sage Martial University, so they probably knew each other. Lu Sheng calmly looked at the information on the paper and memorized their appearances. Then, he stretched out his index finger and gently placed it on the paper. Tiny flames shot out from his fingertips and quickly ignited the paper.
In the blink of an eye, the piece of paper was burned to ashes and Lu Sheng waved it away. Lu Sheng scooped up a big spoonful of beef fried rice and put it into his mouth. He chewed carefully, his eyes like still water. He hoped that no one would drag him down in this mission.
…
Along the river, in a deserted alley on the Trade Street.
An old street lamp was quietly lit, casting a dim yellow light. There were mosquitoes flying in the light. A few meters away, there was a garbage dump. This was the back alley of the bar street. From time to time, drunkards would stagger under the street lamp and vomit for a while. Or they would casually pee on the wall. It was so dirty that even homeless people rarely came here to spend the night.
Mengyao Xu, wearing a white t-shirt and denim shorts, with light makeup, looked at a drunkard who was sleeping soundly on his vomit. Her face showed disgust. She didn’t know how many times she took out her phone to check. She impatiently urged, “When will that guy arrive?”
“Let’s wait a little longer.”
Next to her, a skinny young man with Mengyao Xu took a deep puff of the cigarette in his hand and then threw it on the ground and stepped on it. Under the young man’s feet, there were cigarette butts of different lengths scattered everywhere.
“Can you smoke less? You’re choking me to death …” Mengyao Xu waved her hand in front of her face with disgust.
The young man’s face was helpless, “I want to, but it’s really boring. You know the lung capacity of a Level 6 Martial Artist. One puff of a cigarette isn’t even enough for me to smoke … No wonder so many people smoke cigars. I didn’t understand before, but now I do. We are smoke resistant!”
Mengyao Xu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. She tapped on her phone again and said coldly, “If this guy doesn’t come, I’m going to do it myself. I can’t help much anyway …”
The young man’s expression was a bit hesitant, “That’s not good. He’s our teammate. He came all the way here. We can’t let him come for nothing …”
“Teammate? I think he’s more of a burden.” Mengyao Xu sneered, “Haven’t you seen the information? A freshman! Mission completion rate is 0%. Clearly this is his first mission. He’s the kind of rookie who hasn’t even seen blood. I really don’t know what the people of the Seventh Sage Martial University are thinking. How could they even approve his mission application? They purposely sent him to increase the difficulty of our mission.”
The young man pondered, “He’s still a Level 6 Martial Artist. I’ve heard of his name. Lu Sheng, this year’s Martial Dragon Champion. With this strength at this age, his talent can be considered very terrifying …”
“Hehe, no wonder …” The mocking expression on Mengyao Xu’s pretty face became more and more obvious, “So he’s here to make himself look good. The people from the Seventh Sage Martial University are so interesting. They want to bring their own geniuses to do missions. Why don’t they send their own people instead of throwing them to us? I don’t have time to look after their kid. This mission can get him killed! Let’s go …”
After saying that, Mengyao Xu didn’t waste any more words.
“Shua,” she pulled out two-foot-long blade from her back.
A cold light flashed across the surface of the blade in the darkness. He didn’t know where she had hidden the blade before.
At this moment, the young man straightened his body and looked in one direction, saying, “Here he comes.”
